I grew up a bit further North than I live now. Watching when the leaves fall and when they come out I've calculated that winter up there was almost one month longer than here.
As a result Easter often was rather winterish when I was a kid. But here in central Illinois, it's always gorgeous. Very refreshing. The kickoff of the spring/summer season.

"Nice to be here. Hope you agree,
out here in the sun....."

(just for kicks, let's see how long it takes that lyric to be identified.)
